There's another Grub" The wheat
was planted to help the farmer out in
July, August and September. Not
only this, but there is not one farmer
in five hundred who has floor room to
properly take care Of wheat during
those months.
The modern grain elevators are ovhat ne
need IN the towns. Wheat can be taken
to them direct from the thresher. No
wheat can heat in them it can be
shifted from bin to bin, and if neces-
sary, dried by steam. Capital tells as
much in patent roller mills as in other
kinds of factories. It takes very nearly
the same amount of labor to run an
improved mill of fifty barrels capacity
per day as one of two hundred bar
rels. Suppose that Raleigh had a
roller mill Of two hundred barrels
capacity per day and an elevator Of
sufficient storage capacity to meet the
demands of the market the farmers
of Wake county would sell them one
hundred thousand bushels of wheat,
and not decrease the cotton crop. At
only 80 cents per bushel, there would
be $50, 600 to pay on the years debt.
Twelve and one-half years would give
n million, to say nothing of interest
saved.
Think of the amount paid by the
South to the West for bran and "ship
stuff" and only think that the freight
on the bran and ship stuff usually
exceeds the purchase price. If the farmer
could realize on his wheat from the
thresher as on his cotton from the gin,
the time would not be far distant
when North C%arolinians would only
eat North Carolina flour. North
Carolina bacon and North Carolina
corn. Clover and grass follow wheat;
cattle, hogs, sheep and horses follow
next. NOTES FROM ENDERLY.

CAUSES OF BUYING FLOUR.

At every farmers institute, picnic
or convention, some orator warns
up" our friends about buying flour
tells them they ought to raise wheat,
corn, hogs, &C.; cites figures to show
that if the Southern farmers had only
raised their meat and bread since the
WAR we would have been the richest
agricultural people in the world.
Amid all the flames of oratory, [ have
)hot heard any solution of this prob
lem. I have thought over this prob
lem for several years, and have come
to the conclusion that at least one of
the reasons is the want of the patent
roller mills wih grain elevators, and
grain elevators at such points avhere 1t IS
not practicable to haze roller mills. Let
me illustrate: Take Raleigh, for
example. Farmers in Wake land
adjoining counties) have each from
25 to 1000 bushels of wheat threshed
out in July. Money is scarce +; they
desire to realize on it. They go to
Raleigh nobody wants to buy. They
are either forced to sell at such a low
price hat they would actually lose
money, or be put to the great incon-
venience of hauling it tat q very busy
season. to country mills sometimes
long distances), then returning for the
flour, then marketing it, and probably
striking a dull market and finding it
troublesome to make sale even at a
low price, the country mills having
no brand that will insure ready sale,
and many Of them using old machinery
that would have only made fair flour
in CaswelIs time.
"Hold your wheat" says the mer-
chant; "too much -four on the market !"

For THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
A GRAND FRUIT FAIR OR SHOW
AT THE METROPOLIS CITY,
CHARLOTTE, N. C..

4 Sketch from an Eye Witness of this
tvul Nursery Stock from Capt. ~. W
Crafts Cedar Core Nurseries, Shore,
Yadkin Co., ~ G.
Early on the morning of August the
3Oth, the express train arrived at
Charlotte with a large and beautiful
collection of tempting fruits and fine
young acclimated stock from the
above named nurseries. The goods
were Immediately conveyed to a lovely
situation in front of our stately court
house, where was made a most en-
ticing display of the goodies and beau
ties of nature in the shape of large,
luscious and beautiful apples, pears,
ounces and grapes, with a handsome
collection of the fine trees that grow
them. Such a magnificent exhibition
of inviting fruits has never been made
in this city before. The fruits were
tastefully arranged and remained for
three days in succession unmolested,
allowing ample time for hundreds,
and perhaps thousands of the good
and appreciative people of Mecklen-
burg and adjoining counties to gaze
upon them, and not one saw them but
what lavished great praise upon the
proprietor, and seemed proud to know
what fine and luscious fruits can be
raised on their own soil and in their
own State.
Doubtless many went away medi-
tating over the close attention they
would give to their orchards and vine
yards in the future so that every day
in the year would find them with a
full supply of this splendid repast and
luxury.
We were informed by Nh. S. F.
Shore, who has watched the steady
progress of these extensive nurseries
since his boyhood days, that Capt.
Craft has ripe fruit in it's natural con
dition and without using any artificial
means of preserving Except properly
arranged and we'll ventilated ~cellars)
the entire year. He has winter apples
and pears until May and June, straw
berries and the early cherries in the
spring; then m the very early
apples and early peaches, which keep
up a supply through the summer. So
by having a judicious selection Of all
frst-class varieties, good fruit can be
had at all times in the year.
Individual horticultural exhibitions
were never heard of in this country
until adopted by this enterprising
nurseryman, Capt. n. W. Craft, of
Shore, N. c.. It was commenced by
him years ago on a small scale and
has been getting better and larger un-
til his displays have become a magnii-
cent affair.
These independent and celebrated
exhibits have popularized these SPLEEN
did nurseries until the trade is i'm
mense. The beautiful young. thrifty
nursery stock in this exhibit was said
to be, by good, competent and impair
tial judges, the finest they had ever
seen.
The trees were we'll rooted, straight,

thrifty, healthy and in a fine growing
condition. Wenoticed specimen trees
of apples, peaches, pears, cherry, plum,
apricot, &C., all from about four to six
feet high, and we were informed by
the representatives of Capt. Graft,
Messrs. S, F. Shore, Pierce, Herman
and Morrison, that these n%urse-::cs
contained hundreds of thousands Of
such nice, fine and beautiful nursery
stock.

products of the Cedar Cove Nurseries
caused the people to set their feet upon
the unmerciful frauds that are being
perpetrated through the country by

THE COTTON SPINDLE IN THE
SOUTH.

That able paper the Springfield Re
publican talks about it in this way:
"The fact is patent that the South
is already a formidable competitor and
growing more so every day for the
cotton-goods markets hat have hereto
fore been monopolized by New En-
gland. She has raw material and fuel
right at her doors, while New England
has neither. She has suddenly &C
CURED the New England go-ahead
spirit; and such are her resources and
opportunities in this line that New
England capital has become interested
in their development. It is very rea-
sonable, therefore, to fear that cotton
manufacturing in New England has
seen as good days as it ever will. This
is the view of E. H. Cheny, of New
Hampshire, a prominent manufac-
turer, who recently visited the South.
More cotton-mills, he says have been
built in Georgia since the war than are
now in operation in all New Hamp-
shire. If an old mill burns up in my
State, he continues, it will rarely
be rebuilt, for capitalists are not
likely to put more money into
a manufacturing business so far
from raw material and where
fuel is so scarce. New Hamp-
shire, he concludes, may as we'll look
the matter squarely in the face; and
New England may as we'll, for that
matter, and Bradstreet's figures will
help greatly to emphasize the features
of this fact. They are full of signif-
cance."
While the number ofcotton factories
in the South has not greatly increased
since 1880, the growth and capacities
of plants has been notable. Sixteen
hundred more operatives 0 find en-
ployment in cotton factories than in
1880, an increase of 9 per cent, while
their wages have increased 25 per cent.
The consumption Of cotton by these
mills has increased in this time about
81 per cent. and the production of
cloth 33 per cent. Complete returns
from 1876 mills, for example, show that
they alone consumed this last year
PSI 4l9 bales against lSS,74S bales
consumed by all the l64 mills in the
| South in 1880. While the South has
been steadily increasing its consump-
ton of raw cotton during the last few
years, the North has been at a stand
still in this respect since 1880. Now
let us see how the South is faring in
the markets once monopolized by New
England cotton manufacturers. No
less than % of these 1876 factories heard
from, says Brodstreets, now sell their
entire product in Northern States; IL
mills sell so and 80 per cent. of their
products in former New England
strongholds; IA dispose of IS per cent.
up this way; 8 of them sc per cent,
IA, Is per cent. and Is from 10 to 80
per cent. The South last year expen-
ded Is per cent. of it's entire produc-
ton of cotton manufactures, most of
it crowding out the Northern article in
the Chinese markets. Nearly all of
these 1876 mills have been running on
full time and paying in most cases
large profits.
